'Every night I dream that I am running, I am running away because I am lost.'

Alice is 16. Alice lives in a little village where nothing ever happens. Her mother Rebecca had her when she was 45, A surprise? A gift? Perhaps an embarrassment? One day a Mormon Missionary knocks on their door an Alice invites him in. Alice defies her Welsh Methodist upbringing and runs away to live the American dream and marry her Mormon. Four years later she arrives home in the dead of night to the wrath of her welsh matriarchal mother. A night vigil ensues where revelations, confessions and healing takes place between a mother and daughter divided by religion, men and anger.

Often the worse war is the one at home, fought between knife and fork, table and chair. This play explores 'Where is home? The meaning of family and is the grass greener on other side?'
